I love The Chronicle of Higher Education. I always find things relevant to my classes, work, and now increasingly China. I found this article about Jinghua Liu, an international student at Penn State who has created a web site that allows Chinese and American students to ask each other questions. http://chronicle.com/blogs/saysomething/2012/06/11/episode-35-starting-a-conversation-that-spans-10000-miles/
The question/answer website is USA-China PhotoQuestion Exchange Project. Some of the questions are funny, like "Is your Chinese food WAY better than American Chinese food?" (-- um, yes. I can say that it is) or "Why do the Chinese like Lady Gaga?", but there are also serious ones like "What do you Americans think of Hu Jintao?"
Great learning tool. Check it out.

I have a feeling that the website is no longer active. I cannot seem to find the write path to get to his project. It just doesn't seem right when I click on it. Unless that is the proper site? I would love to see this site and ask some of my own questions.
